Gabriel Jesus has pleaded to Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta for more playing time.
Jesus, who is in his third season at Arsenal, has had to settle for bit part roles at the Gunners.
The former Manchester City’s striker’s lack of regular playing time has not been helped due to injuries.
After a long goal drought, Jesus opened his account by getting on the score sheet in the 3-0 win against Preston in the Carabao Cup.
Now the Brazilian is clamouring for more minutes from Arteta.
“I believe that not only me, but any player, all players, want to have more minutes. I’m obviously never going to cause anything in the club,” Jesus was qouted on Arsenal News Central.
“I am going to try to demonstrate on a daily basis, in training, and when I get into the games, have my chance, and do my thing and trust that things will happen.
“I’ve always made it very clear that I want to improve, that I want to try to do my best and help Arsenal. Obviously, my moment is not the best, it’s not the moment I wanted, that I would like.
“But as I said, I’m working on my own, trying to do my best, and get more minutes to play, but that’s a consequence of my training, it’s a consequence of the way I get in and leave the decision to the coach.
“I believe in my potential, and I also know that the fight for my place in Arsenal is big, but I also believe that I can help a lot.”
Jesus would hope to get his wish this weekend when the Gunners travel to Stamford Bridge to face Chelsea.
